How it feels

A frantic, immersive VR shooter with roguelite progression where you blast through waves of zombies, making quick tactical choices between waves to build your abilities.

What players say

Players praise the roguelite upgrade system and addictive wave shooting, but many report a locked 45 fps frame rate and dated zombie visuals. The campaign is short, around 16 hours, with a difficulty grind for stars that some find tedious. A few note that it is a standing-in-place shooter, not a movement-based VR game.
